My ignitor ignites the gas flames, however the oven never reaches the temperature that the digital temperature on the control panel reads. Example...if I turn the oven temp to 500...it only takes a few minutes for the oven to indicate that it's up to temp, when in actuality the temp is 250 at most. The highest it will heat up to is 350...if the temp is set at 550!My ignitor ignites the gas flames, however the oven never reaches the temperature that the digital temperature on the control panel reads.

Assuming this is on a gas range, the bake burner ( under the oven floor) and the broil burner ( at the top of the oven) have electric igniters . When switching from bake to broil the broiler goes off due to a defective or broken broil igniter. cheap part to replace ( +-$40.00)

Hello there:It doesn't

Bake igniter
When the bake igniter becomes weak or burns out, your oven would not
bake. The bake igniter is usually mounted on the oven burner. It's
about 1 inch by 4-8 inches (depending on the model), and comes in
round or flat styles. If you don't see the igniter glow at all, it's
probably burned out. Replace the igniter if found defective. Note:
one of the exceptions could be that your oven is set to automatic
mode instead of manual. If this is the case, set your oven to manual
mode and check again.

If the bake igniter glows red and not bright yellow or white, it is
probably because it is too weak. When this happens, the safety valve
would not let the gas out into the oven burner. A weak igniter must
be replaced.

A faulty igniter is probably the most common cause, however there
are others:

If you are certain the igniter is ok, it might be a good idea to
call a professional appliance technician.

mlong9876 - I am having the same problem as you posted re: Maytag (mgs5870adw). I am trying to arrive at the same resolution changing the lower igniter in my same model oven. Were you able to remove the lower oven plate to access the top of the burner and igniter with the convection bake fan housing in the back? I am having difficulty getting to the igniter.

Hi, what you describe sounds like a weak igniter. The igniter (which lights the oven burner) doesn't go out all at once and will cause problems like this for a while, then quit working all together. I'd say replacement is the answer. Good luck.

Bake igniterOther causesBake igniter
Usually when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake igniter is weak or burned out. The igniter is a small, round or rectangular device, that's about 1 inch by 4 to 8 inches. It's near the burner itself.

The burner is the tube-type device the gas flows through before it's ignited. It has many small holes on the sides to let the gas, when ignited, form a long, low flame. If the igniter is weak, if it glows red but doesn't get hot enough, or if it's burned out, the gas doesn't flow to the burner and the burner won't ignite. If this is the problem, you may need to replace either the igniter or the gas safety valve. Usually the igniter is to blame.
